Visually confirmed this is H. neomexicensis as well. Singing alone from a cholla. It arched its abdomen slightly while singing. In the recording there are several other cicadas calling in the background but the H. neomexicensis is the loudest one closest to the recorder. It starts singing at about 10 seconds in. The photo is a habitat shot.

Tettigarcta crinita observed in large emergence in Dandenong Ranges through April May 2017 and just commencing in 2018 on March 20th. In southern Victoria, the timing is later than in the NSW Alps where the max numbers occur in February. Several were also collected from Mt Bogong in the Victorian Alps in Feb 2018. In Tassie, Tettigarcta crinita emerges from March to July
